This blog's purpose is to engage in the conversation around the use of curseforge in the sims modding community and the company's support of Israel and the IDF. This is not a hate-blog, or meant to "cancel" creators. It is an open conversation and call-to-action for popular creators to remove their content from curseforge.

Curseforge, owned by the Israeli company Overwolf, posted a crowdfunding campaign for the IDF at the beginning of the siege on Gaza. They quickly removed it, but there is no reason to believe that they do not continue to support the IDF. The organization they partnered with to raise money for the victims of Oct 8th has Zionism as one of their core values. And in April they hosted the organization, Gvahim, who integrates new settlers into Israel's workforce. An active part of the ongoing colonization of Palestine.

Even besides all of this, the baseline of leaving curseforge is to divest in the Israeli economy while the war on Gaza rages on. An estimated 37,000 Palestinians have been cruelly murdered by Israel. (May, 2024) The number is predicted to be much higher.

Popular creators generate traffic and revenue for the site and contribute a large portion to the nearly 1 billion downloads in the Sims 4 category. Their choices do make a difference.

Providing alternative downloads is a good step, but it is not enough. If you are a modder or custom content creator, I urge you to take part in the mission to leave curseforge as a whole.

Actions: You may tag this blog, link this post, and respectfully request creators remove their content from curseforge on their posts. Don't download from curseforge. Threats, harassment, and antisemitism are not welcome on this blog and with this message. You are not helping by doing so.

Join me and divest from curseforge. PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST. #divest from curseforge

Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

Israeli forces have raided the al-Jalazone refugee camp. The Israeli forces have entered the camp. They brought a bulldozer with them. Now there has been a home that Israeli forces have said has been built illegally in an area that is inside the occupied West Bank, but that Israel says Palestinians need permits to build in. Of course, almost no one gets those permits. We reported earlier this week that the Israeli forces had killed two Palestinians during raids of the same refugee camp. All in all, in the occupied West Bank we’ve been seeing the Israeli forces raid multiple cities, often resulting in confrontations with Palestinians. We’ve also been seeing more and more calls for Palestinians to protest in cities – they are saying they cannot see their fellow Palestinians in the dark, without any communications, in the besieged Gaza Strip under heavy bombardment, and do nothing.

I haven’t seen this linked on here so: this is an awesome resource for how you can help the people in Palestine. It has donation links, helps you figure out how to contact your representatives, and a regularly updated list of planned protests. It is USAmerican centric but the list of protests is international.

The first is titled "Ceasefire in Gaza!" with a list of tabs. The tabs, from top to bottom, say:

Email Congress

Email Your Senators

Sign The Petition

Find A Protest Near You

Phone Banks

Toolkit

Donate: PCRF

Doctors Without Borders.

The second screenshot is text that says, "Call Script: My name is (Your Name). I am a constituent of (Representative's Name). I am calling to ask that the Representative add their name to the Ceasefire Now resolution led by Representatives Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib, regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

It is absolutely urgent that the Representative demand a ceasefire, and that they call on Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza. The only way forward is addressing the root causes of violence: Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and ending US complicity in this oppression."

Just because you recoloured or tweaked meshes a little bit DOES NOT give you the right to paywall these items.

I’ve also realized that people are doing this more and more. Editing EA meshes the slightest bit, calling them their own and then putting them up for early access.

There are SO many creators that make original meshes, put lots of time and effort into making ORIGINAL content and are not charging people for it. I am all for making money off of your work, but so many creators are blinded by it.

People will support you if they want to. If you deserve it, it will happen, i promise.

(Semi) Tutorial : Notes and Tips for Trans Sims

Xan here! What started as me trying to figure out a mesh turned into…this. I’m sure someone else has written guides on the topic, but I couldn’t find them, so I put this together. I made it mostly for my own reference–I keep forgetting which tags to use–but I thought I’d share in case anyone else might find it useful. (Requires: Sims 4 Studio)

The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack

Delight in the quaint charm of The Sims™4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack* with animal friends, garden-to-table meals, and a close-knit community. At home, cook with the family using the freshest ingredients. Explore the forest to befriend woodland creatures or forage for food, or head to town to meet the locals. Whether Sims are hugging a cow, making friends (or enemies) with their chickens, or growing the biggest vegetables around, the countryside is abundant with new experiences and ways to connect with the world around them.

Raise or Befriend Animals

The cottage cow provides fresh (flavored!) milk for everyone while chickens lay eggs in the coop. Gather llama wool for crafts, but beware of mischievous foxes - the pesky critters love eggs! In the forest, keep an eye out for wildlife like rabbits and birds to earn their trust for occasional gifts and help in the garden.

Live Off the Land

Make cooking and gardening fun for the whole family. New recipes and Lot Challenges require fresh ingredients for each meal. Whether Sims grow their own produce, visit the village market, or forage in the wild, fresh is best! Up for a challenge? Try growing oversized crops to enter into the competition at the Finchwick Fair.

Embrace Village Life

Henford-on-Bagley is a cozy village where everyone knows everyone. So pack a picnic basket and cross-stitch hoop, and head down to The Gnome’s Arms pub to kick back with the locals after a long day. Earn unique gifts and learn about the town’s lore from neighbors, or participate in the Finchwick Fair to show off your most prized cow or chicken.

The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack arrives on July 22, 2021, on all platforms!
